Marketline Report for Friday, July 19th
This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Friday, July 19th. Live cattle show a little short-term correction in Thursday trading. From the floor of the CME in Chicago, here's Virginia McGathey.McGATHEY ... "Live cattle market was a little bit easier today. There is a short-term correction. Now, we know that there is somewhat of an up-trend, but the futures are really having trouble sustaining that uptrend. But, it's not over yet so don't give up hope here. This has happened before and I think by Friday maybe we'll get a little more action and kind of get some buying follow through, let's hope. Feeders were actually lower still and I think that they were trying to say that the market was a little bit over-bought. That being said, it's not like we had a skyrocketing market over the last couple of days. Now, for two days in a row the feeders have been down much harder than the live cattle. Is that an indication that the market is really, completely pulling back? I think that it is very possible that we can move back around."
